CD 1

1. SPHERE ECLIPSE

Blind by science, stained by blood
You look down to this global cage
Filled up with misery and pain
(presented as) a coffin for your punishment
While the religion gives the sense
In praying to an imperfect might

Accepting the mutilated
Bodies of little babies
As payment for the luxury of
A so called real and poor church
Somewhere they lost the meaning
Twisted it never seeing
There's no justification
For this runaway creation

Nothing is true and nothing is false
While no one can build or destroy
Worlds in less than seven days
Nothing is gained and nothing is lost
It's all a game that has no rules

Reality is insepted by
Reality so all we see is
Created by electron waves
That flow out of a living screen
The truth is portrayted just like a show
Where hate rules all the winners take nothing

While a hypocritical humanity
Sends frozen kisses to a
Tortured people lawn-mowing
The endless mind of
Different thoughts projected
By clean white coats in a
Castle of science no one
can control and what's more

Nothing is true and nothing is false
While one can build or destroy
Worlds in less than seven days
Nothing is gained and nothing is lost
It's all a game that has no rules
Played by men and won by fools


2. TRANSGRESSOR

Transgressor I am
The one
Force of the future
Control
The new ways are stronger
Obey
(your) Weakness is (my) power
Downfall

I'm the transgressor - Predecessor
Overstepper - Strong aggressor
Put your ways behind you
They only have confined you
They are the chains that bind you
Needn't I remind you
I am the tempter
Extravagant my ways
The worid is my
Menagerie

Freedom the dream of
The weak
Knowledge the scheme of
The meek
Boundaries of this world
Behind
Apes walking upright
Mankind

Transgressor born to lead
I will satisfy your greed
Soon you'll understand
The power I command

Transgressor the one
The process has begun
Soon you'll understand
The power I command

Reality is gone
The new weys are strong
(Transgress)


3. TRUE LIES

"Hello people, this is Jason, back again on channel 5, here are the news:

Mr. President declared his mind for peace and admitted the contra's support -
...All we need is economical development!
A congess member said: "He's wise..."

All I hear is lies (guns for freedom)
But they're true lies!
We are goddamn manipulated
We are so guilty at their truth
It's our duty to be true to ourselves

They move the mountains, the force of nature on it's knees and they are your personal gods
Paper's patient, you can print the way you want it, black on white - the reborn truth
...All we need is economical development!
A congess member said: "He's wise..."

All I hear is lies (guns for freedom)
But they're true lies!
We are goddamn manipulated
We are so guilty at their truth
It's our duty to be true to ourselves

These's danger in their speech, born from unholy greed. Their lies made them believe in it.

All I hear is lies! (the helpless'll get no sight to compare...)


4. CONFESSION OF MADNESS

Where do we go? Wake up people!
We're on a deadrace. There is no time!
How can you believe in or trust it?
This system's proofed that it's absurd
Setting signs
He tried to wake them up,
Open up their eyes

But they don't listened
They were all too busy
Facing just the end of the day
Never thought of tomorrow

Yes, I know. More you'll ever will
Maybe I scare you. I reflect what scared me
Why do you all baffle my warning?
You'd better let this in your life
Prosecution
For he'd disturbed their dreams,
Distorting his speech

Being here on his own,
With that vision he had seen
Yes, I know (he must be) out of mind
In another mental sphere
Setting signs
He tried to wake them up,
Open up their eyes

But they don't listened
They were all too busy
Facing just the end of the day.
Never thought of tomorrow.
There is no time
There is no time


5. INTERLUDIUM

(instrumental)


6. DANCE ON A VOLCANO

Holy Mother of God
You've got to go faster than that to get to the top.
Dirty old mountain
All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone
So you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right.

You're halfway up and you're halfway down
And the pack on your back is turning you around.
Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember
You don't look back whatever you do.
Better start doing it right.

On your left and on your right
Crosses are green and crosses are blue
Your friends didn't make it through.

Out of the night and out of the dark
Into the fire and into the fight
Well that's the way the heroes go, Ho! Ho! Ho!

Through a crack in Mother Earth,
Blazing hot, the molten rock
Spills out over the land.

And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away. Hey! Hey! Hey!
If you don't want to boil as well.
B-B-Better start the dance
D-D-Do you want to dance with me.
You better start doing it right.

The music's playing, the notes are right
Put your left foot first and move into the light.
The edge of this hill is the edge of the world
And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right.
You better start doing it right.
Let the dance begin.


7. TOCCATA

(instrumental)


8. I, KING, WILL COME

Now it came so far (with me)
I was really scared (ha, ha)
Today I'm risen from this sphere
I was to see it at once
This is my kingdom, I'm bestof it all
Today's messiah, it's me

I, king, will come (beat me on the cross)
This is why I'm born

They practice their rites (wake up!)
Real ridiculous (what pope?)
They believe that Jesus enforced all evil
Nothing could harm them no more
But chaos rules, they come from outta space
Come for enslaving the world... ...but

I, king, will come (beat me on the cross)
This is why I'm born


9. DREAMING

(instrumental)


10. THE CURE

When you'll come back home again
Weary from the fight
I will nurse your wounds and I'll
Release you from your weights

You must be hungry and
There's blood upon your hands
So please come in and I will cure your fever
Why don't you rest your head
You long for warmth I bet
You needn't worry of a thing when I'm near

(He's the cure)
I'm the cure
I'm the cure

What can just light up your heart
When you're in the dark
What just makes privation worth
What's dearer to a man

To see this face again
To touch this body and
To feel the blood pulsating in your veins
Your hunger will be fed
For every tear you've shed
You'll get the threefold pay in just one long night

(He's the cure)
I'm the cure
I'm the cure


11. NIGHT ON A BARE MOUNTAIN

(instrumental)


CD 2

1. INNOCENT

Wading through the oceans of minced dreams
While they puke some little pieces of
Surreal truth to feed the stupid crowd
The endless kiss of him that made them proud
So the rigid lens gives you
The perfect view
Into the heated
Heart of bloody polished steel
And
As they started dancing (on mutilated humanity)
You can hear them paying homage to their
Unknown fear

See what we have given you
See what we can do for you

We just do what we are told
We must do what we are told
For religion we are sold
We just do what we are told
For religion we are sold
All we touch is dead and cold

And while they exorcise what they believe
Always flagging honour and justice
Vindication for their blinded greed
So that you can play the innocent
'cause you learned how to behave
In a
Virtuell world that's
Full of mutilated dreams
And
As they started dancing (on mutilated humanity)
You can hear them paying homage to their
Unknown fear

See what we can give for you
See what we have done for you
All we have is here before you
Accept our lives, we must implore you


2. WITHOUT HONOUR

Marching through the jungle
Small change to survive
Shrapnell fire's pounding
Men must leave their lifes
Corpses fill the graves
They are defaced, they are bloated
Mutilated limbs
And no one knows from whom they are

Treated as if they're garbage
No one sheds a tear
They die without honour
Get burried with no name
They die without honour

Everyone's the same
Back from hell again
Not a chance is given
Screaming from the gutter
Die just like the others
Corpses fill the graves
They are defaced, they are bloated
Mutilated limbs
And no one knows from whom they are

Treated as if you're garbage
No one sheds a tear
They die without honour
Get burried with no name
They die without honour
Everyone's the same


3. SABRE DANCE

(instrumental)


4. CURSE OF REALITY

Ambitious
I am
Gonna save this world
Drums beating
Soldiers marching
Don't stand in our way
Over the hills
We march
The final showdown is near
I am chosen
To be
Savior of this world one day

Marching on
Through this land
My dreams
They'll all come true
I will never ever fail

We just do what's right
We will never die

The world ain't real
The weak one cries
Soon he'll face truth
Over the hills
We march
The final showdown is near
Dawn is near
But what I see
I simply can't believe
Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers everywhere
As far as I can see
Billions of enemies
Bound to tear my world apart
Now that I face the facts
I gotta realize
Something must I have been wrong from the start
I can see
Them smile at me
I know the end is near
That's the curse of reality

Curse of reality
You have got me down
You have shot me down
You have knocked me down


5. TWILIGHT ZONE

(instrumental)


6. HEROES GRIEF

Hear them sing the tales of glory
About a man so brave and wise
He subdued the hated tyrant
But he's unlucky, hear his cries

Why, why, why
All of mine are dead and gone (why, why)
Oh, my absence was too long (why, why, why)
Bloody vengeance's what I swear (why, why)
Heroes grief, it makes me strong

In the world's most darkest hour
When he prevents the fall of man
He shakes off the yoke of evil
He is the saviour of all land

Why, why, why
These betrayers killed my love (why, why)
But there soon will come the day (why, why, why)
For their treason they must pay (why, why)
Heroes grief, it makes me strong

"After Karlaak had fall he went through the forest of Troos
where he met Zarozinia, daughter of the fallen king of the Dreaming City.
He tried to part himself from his two glorious swords "Stormbringer" and "Blade of Sorrow",
and was punished by the gods with the knowledge about his destiny.
He had to face the bitter truth of being an immortal hero
in the endless war between good and bad........”


7. MEMORIES OF TOMORROW

All alone, I feel cold inside
Loneliness, I'm the only one to know
I am one with my armchair
All night I'm playing for you
Though I know you won't thank me
What else is left now to do?

It is here (I will defend you)
Near and nearer (fight it back)
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Memories, memories of tomorrow
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Dear me, memories of tomorrow

Once I was dead, I know I'll be
I've diffracted it all on myself
Oh, can't this chalice pass by me
Why can't it be someone else
I've got to pay for the world now
If not, there's no one to do

It is here (I will defend you)
Near and nearer (fight it back)
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Memories, memories of tomorrow
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Dear me, memories of tomorrow


8. THE HEALER

It was the time we cried for justice loud
We did and felt so proud
Then they start to cut the moral out
Allright, we have allowed

And they start to sort the people out
We looked away and had no doubt

See, when he first came it looked like a sign
He promised to save us from crime
So we thought everything would be fine
And he heals all our wounds - but...
Then he starts saying
doubters are waiting
He talked about
the only one
he had become
the only thing
that we could win
and pray to him - so pray to him

And it seems to be
that hear now, fear now
We, we didn't see
the tears now, tears now
And could it really be that we
we're never free or meant to be – see

We called him healer, see what we got
We were believers, see what we got

And now we cry for freedom loud
They laugh and felt so proud
Then we tried to turn the wheel around
Too late, we're not allowed

See, when he first came it looked like a sign
He promised to save us from crime
So we thought everything would be fine
He heals all our wounds - but...

Then he starts saying
Doubters are waiting
He talked about
The only one
He had become
The only thing
That we could win
And pray to him - so pray to him

And it seems to be
That here now, fear now
We, we didn't see
The tears now, tears now
And could it really be that we
We're never free or meant to be – see

We called him healer, see what we got
We were believers, see what we got
Too late...


9. THE PRINCIPLE OF DOUBT

The old bum - over there - holds a sign saving
The only way for you to live - never stop trying
A little boy - hands a note - over to me
The message there - on that note - is simple and clear

Don't ever leave the path - you have been walking on
Don't ever change - your ways, your ways - of getting alone
No chance for you - to escape - from your destination
Choose between good and bad - and make your own decision
Just be true - to yourself - and things will be coming
Don't ever try - to make them, to make them - smile at you
For in return they'll turn their back on you

A prophecy - that's what I say
And you'll find - some day
A chosen one - that's what you are
Some day you're bound to find your way

You will fight - in a world - that don't seem real
You'll have to fight in that world - you don't believe in
Don't you try to resist for things will be coming

Hit by a car - in the streets of deserted town
Wake up in dreams wondering - where you're around
A voice keeps calling

I will be lord of this land
I will be ruler of this land
No one can stop me anyway
This will all be mine some day

Run - Run - Run
Run but you can't get away -
Run but you won't change your fate -
Don't try hide away - I'll wait for you some day -

And you can't run away
Away from your destiny
You just can't deny
The part you're bound to play


10. HEARTBEAT

In the shadow of our industry
We constructed all these big machines
Symbolizing what we want to be
Superpowers of insanity

Accepting all of this bureaucracy
Content to be another wannabe
Obscured by all of this complexity
Consumed as fuel for even bigger dreams

Little voices saying please sign here
You know these children are too young my dear
And the endless sound of moving parts
Replaced the rhythm of their strained hearts

While the wheels continue turning
We still believe in sold out learning
In the center are these blinded eyes
Masked by a melted fire out of ice

Answers finally came to me
Inside a plastic strawberry
Creeping through your cancered skin
Remember that your life is a sin

Lost like a heartbeat we will never hear
Caught by the house of coldness we all fear
And in our blindness we can't see
the ghost of all we used to be

In the daylight of our destiny
Swimming in reflected vanity
So you smoke another cigarette
One more thing in life that you'll regret

While the wheels continue turning
We still believe in sold out learning
In the center are these blinded eyes
Masked by a melted fire out of ice

Lost like a heartbeat we will never hear
Caught by the house of coldness we all fear
And in our blindness we can't see
The ghost of all we used to be


11. THE HUT OF BABA YAGA

(instrumental)
